Over three-fiftha of this has been comploted an far as Jabor ia concorned. About 850 scres have boou tilled and sosded down and rllnled with forost traes of from 8 to 12 incles n dinmeter, and now its completion is mainly s queation of time. TOY, FINGT ATER nocaasary towards making the parks was the construction of tho mowerage of Grand and Drozol boulevards, and of the portions of the parks to be firat worked upon. Thia waa accom- lintiad at & groat exponse, and ao thoroughly. it 8 Letioved, that it will be pormanent. The sams course was pursiied when work was comn- manced on the Fitty-fifth atreot—now Pavilion— boulovard, which haa proved to ba of great uso. Tho Commissiooors also joined with the Truateos of Hvde Park in building the Fifty-frat stropt sawer, This, owing to tho delsy of the contractors to whom tho work was let, cost nearly $40,000 more than tho estimates, and tun Commissioners paid their foll proportion under protest. A wsowar L also boen built for an ontlet to Droxel and Grand boulovards on iForty-third stroet from Droxel to Grand bonlevard, and on Forty-accond stret from Droxol boulovard to the lake. The village of Hyde Park has benides contracted to hutld s sawer o Forty-tlird streot, which will be very Lonofleial. The Commliesloners havo also bnilt good strong mewern on Grand baulevard, South Park aventio, Pavilion boulsvard, Droxel boulevard, and Bayard avenuo, and this vear they have laid about & mile of draining In the west division of the park to drain the nuracry. Up to Decomber, 1874, the Commisslonera had built 74,004 feet of draius, aqual to sbout 14 milen, and the length built this yoar gives a total of over 16 miles of good dralns, * Among tho firat things dono towards making tho parks was tho construction of Grand and Droxol boulevards, which sro now more fre- quentod than any othor boulevards in the vicini- ty of Clicago, aud are highly praisod by visitors from abroad. GRAND BOULEVARD extonds from Douglas avenus a distance of 2 miles southward, boing connected with Draxel boulevard at tho south end by Bayard svenus, 2nd near the north ond by Oakwood bouloyard. 1t coneists of a centre roadway G5 foet widoe, bounded on each gide by planting epaces 12 feot wido, which contaln ‘in all 13 acres.

The side-drives have not yot hoen graveled, with tho excoption of the portion lving on tho ocast side from Oakwood boulevard to Forty-mevonth street. This pottion s s mils long. Thoro iz ono block of asplalt and the romainder of Joliet gravel. This is tho fast-trotting course, aud on trottiog evenings, Tnosdays and Saturdays, tho orowd on tho boulevard s fromandons.

DATARD AVENTE bas been comploted sround tho sonth open groen, a dlatance of about 214 milos. The por~ tion oxtending along tho north ond of the park ia made of Joliet gravel and thoroughly sewored. ‘Tne remaining portion was conatructed of clay and lnko-sbora gravol, and when it has beon used for a short tizme will bo fully as good & road au sny ono made of Joliet gravel. PAVILION LOULEVABD, or Fifty-fitth street, commences near the contre of tho west park, and setretches wesiward to Wostern avenue, & distance of B¢ miles. It has been Iaid out trom South Park avenus to Btate strect, and from Reubon nvovue to Westorn avouue, with two 40-foot roads, separated by lunting epaca similar to Dextrol boulsvard, Botwucu theso points it {a to conalat of a 75-foot road, ke Grand boulovard, which wlil ba en- larged by and by to about this size. Tho Eun of the boulavard resombling Droxsl has cen graded on oue side. A roadwsy 25 foct wide, from Htate stroat to Roubon, and for tho entiro loogth of the bonlovard, has been butlt of Jalios gravel, with a foundation of clay. ln tho castorn or lake-shore division of the park the Commissioners havo ebared in the ox- pensca of puilding ATONY 18LAND AVENUE, which extends from Fifty-seventh sireet southe ward, bordoring tho east park on tho west, and hava planted a rosw of ash, oim, and lindon trecs upon the side bordering tho vari, OAKWOOD DOULEVARD runs east and wost, connecting Grand and Drexol Louloyacds at the northern extremity of tlo lat- tor, It fs about 40 foat wido, and has beon kept in good condition, Water and % pipes have Leon laid on this avenue by the Viage of Hyde Park, but the Commission use their own pipe for sprioklivg. BOUTH PARK AVRNUE has been constructed of Joliot gravel from the Urand boulevard ontrance to tho Fark Retreat, a distanco of somo 2,000 foat. This gives an en- trance to the Paik Retreat on tha west, sud can- nects by tho d.ives oun tho esst with Bayard aveuue. WESTEUN AVENUE has been conslderably improved this yoer. The foncos ou tho east side of the avenua fcr nearl tha entire distanco between the lilinowg Michigan Cansl aod raylion boulevard (have been set back 200 feet ; the grouud in tbe ceu- tre hns been plowed up, sand troes hiave been planted the entire dlstance. It is in- tonded to meke it similar snd equal in every rospect to Prexel bouyleyard, It ehiould be conuected with the West Bide Park syatem by tho Weat Bido Commissiopera. If this 1a done, apd m short link made on the North Hide, tha drive of aome 25 miles or motre entirely around the clty will be completed.
